It arrived today, looks good so far! I forgot to get the ball head/clip atatchment though, so its a little bit of a pain to screw it on at the moment. I'll have to pick that up tomorrow. just been teseting it around the house so far!

I find your stories amazing, and a real inspiration, even though I'll never get put in any of the same situations (not even close). Seeing pics like this, with a testimonial like yours seem to me, at least to stretch the boundaries of photography. Very interesting!

I'm fortunate enough not to have spilt any liquids myself, but i do have an awful habit of beating my daily use laptop(s) far too much and they seldom last longer than a year or 18 months. This work laptop (XPS 1530) is literally falling apart on every corner. Still going strong though!

I'll second the Studio XPS 16, got a couple here at the office, very nice looking machines. I can't help but thing think they feel a bit cheap (build quality) compared to the old aluminium topped XPS 1530's though. Lovely machine. As for the laptop in the oven, I've used this technique a few...

Street, go nuts! Interesting subjects everywhere

I've been playing with the 50mm 1.4 on a 400d and I just find it a little too restrictive, thinking of buying the 35mm for my Nikon D40 instead (not sure if there's a Canon Equivalent in Cropped Sensor format?)

Canon G10/11, Panasonic Lumix/Leica LX3, Olympus EP-1 (I think thats the right, the multi lens micro 4/3 system), or the new Lumix with the micro 4/3 system as well (when it comes out)

Nice, I can only wish I get to touch a D3 one day!

Thanks for your comments, that looks fantastic Markk, perfect for my needs. Hopefully I dont have the same issues as you ldkb!!! I'm ordering one now

That would be a better idea definitely, I've been meaning to move over my current credit card to another provider for a while as its at quite a bad rate (with no benefits), will look into that instead. In the end i shouldn't be taking out another line of credit anyway, the credit card should...

I've also got a coffee story with a Latitude D820, after my wife knocked a full mug in to the one I donated her a couple of months ago. I was shocked as she picked it up and coffee poured out the vents. Shocked is an understatement. Amazingly enough I dried it out for a few hours in front of...

While this is true, I've heard the actual link between Cisco and Linksys is minimal, and shouldn't be any representation of quality. That being said the WRT54G and WRT350N with DDWRT or OpenWRT on them have been phenomenal. I only wish the WRT600N was as big a success.

This is probably a weird request, but I'm looking at setting myself up with some new Nikon gear. I went into Jessops today to order the 18-135mm VR and 35mm for my D40 wanting to buy on hire purchase interest free period, but they've stopped offering this since falling out with Barclays...

Yea I wouldn't have thought most of the leatherman range would be an issue, I've had my Victorinox explorer in my pocket for years

I've got some great photos of a friends birthday that were taken on the weekend which I'd love to send to him. Does anyone know of anyone that does tasteful framing/block mounting online with delivery?
